Why Should You Take Up Online Dizi Lessons

What Is Dizi?

The dizi (Chinese: 笛子; pinyin: dízi), is a Chinese flute, a wind instrument dating back to 7000 BC. The Dizi as we know it today was revolutionised during the Tang Dynasty, the Dizi is made of a thin hollowed bamboo with holes cut into it. The Dizi unlike other flutes, has a thin membrane pasted over one of its sound holes so as to enhance the instrument vibrations and harmonic range. This gives the Dizi its characteristic sound that we all so love.

Don’t have your own Dizi to get started on your musical journey? Browse our artisan collection of Dizi at our Eight Tones Music Store, catering to all musical levels. Woodwind instruments (Dizi and Xiao) will not be provided during music lessons due to personal hygiene reasons. Additionally, you will need a personal instrument for daily practice.
